The Han people's persistence in hair is actually a respect for filial piety. Every child will learn that "the body, hair, skin, and skin should not be easily destroyed by their parents." Therefore, shampooing and haircut must be read in the almanac, and self-harm and self-destruction are not recognized - so becoming a monk has always been regarded as "no longer a human being".

By further analyzing the relationship between hair and filial piety, you will know that "parents who receive it" does not mean that parents give it, so it cannot be easily destroyed. Instead, it means that the body and hair are part of the parents' body. Once it is slightly destroyed, it is not that you are personally injured, but that you will hurt your parents.

The cornerstone of Chinese civilization is filial piety, which is a mark left by ancient times to maintain ethnic order. As long as parents are hurt, this hatred is an irreconcilable hatred.

This is the theory.

In fact, the general public with low cultural levels do not know that there is such a deep connection. They insist on wearing their hair out of folk customs and habits. Once they enter an environment where people around them have short hair, they will also break their hair out of herd mentality. There are countless people in this world who shave their hair to eat a bite of food. From this, we can see that shaving hair is not absolutely unacceptable.

Zhu Cixuan did not use power to promote hair shaving, but the effect he received was beyond his expectations. If the soldiers did not reject short hair, why did the people in Jiangnan pay such a heavy price to preserve their hair?

After thinking deeply, Zhu Cixuan concluded that poor people shave their hair for the sake of eating, and they must be voluntary. If they have food to eat or have no food to eat after shaving their hair, of course no one is willing to "harm yourself". If they are forced to shave their hair with a butcher knife, there is also a "punishment" meaning, and no one is willing to shave their hair.

This conclusion is mixed.

What is good is that the military appearance and hygiene in the army can be improved;

What I worry about is that my behavior may touch a certain point in the scholarly class again.

Sure enough, the incident of the crown prince's "self-punishment" and cutting off his hair reached Jinan, causing a violent shock to the emperor's actions.

After the shocks spread to Nanjing, the officials in the South even set off a huge public opinion war.

Wu finally knew that the crown prince would not let him live a relaxed and comfortable life.

For officials like him who were released from the late Wanli period, it was unfamiliar to go to and from get off work on time, but now he had to regain his feelings when he first entered the officialdom. However, as an official, he still had to work overtime, which was probably a special period in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty. Even when Zhang Juzheng was in the imperial examination, working overtime was only an accidental act of a few officials.

It was already past the hour of Hai, and Wu Yan's office room was still brightly lit. He held the tea and said hoarsely, "Some people say that your highness 'reprimand of detaining crimes and slandering the emperor' is nothing more than catching the handle of 'Zhu's crimes'. As long as the emperor's "Sin of Sin" can be brought out, it can be suppressed."

Li Banghua was already old, but as the head of the Censorate, he had to follow up on this matter himself. He wanted to transfer Li Mingrui over, but Li Mingrui was willing to be the inspector. He studied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's work "The Original Law" when he was twelve years old, and was busy doing legal research. During this year, he not only wrote "Shang Jun Book Yan Lu" and "Guan Zi Gui", but also made a lot of analysis on the "Ask of Criminal Regulations" during the Hongzhi period.

If it weren't for the establishment of the "Imperial Ming Issuance Law", it would be difficult for Li Banghua to "meet" Li Mingrui by chance.

However, Li Zhensheng, the Right Chief Censor, listened very seriously. He originally wanted to go to Henan to serve as the Henan Censor, but because the rectification work in Henan has not been completed yet. Now the judicial intervention will affect work efficiency, so Zhu Cixuan left him in Jinan. Although he was nominally the Right Chief Censor of the Fourth-rank Right Chief Censor, but his actual work was the Deputy Chief Censor. The officialdom was rumored that as long as he returned to Beijing, Li Zhensheng would probably officially become the Left Deputy Chief Censor, and become the second person in the Censorate after Li Banghua.

"The "Edict of Sin" in the first month of the 17th year of Chongzhen said: 'I am a parent of the people, but I cannot be owed to him; the people are a child, but I cannot be wailed to him; I am a child, but I cannot be wailed to him; I sit in the Qin Dynasty, and the rivers and Chu are filthy, which brings shame to the clan society and guilty of Qianli. If I have no choice, who can hold him responsible for the crime?' This can be endorsed by Your Highness." Li Zhensheng is indeed worthy of his talent as a Jinshi, and he can still pick up the edict a year ago.

Wu Qing praised: "Good. 'I am not my fault. Who can hold him responsible?' This is the remark of the Holy Emperor's guilt, and the Crown Prince punished himself with this, which is appropriate."

"It's too long." Sun Chuanting shook his head slightly: "It's been a year since your Highness was punished, and I'm afraid he's even more criticized."

Jiang Dejing pondered, and everyone in the staff room looked over. He said in an orderly manner: "Mr. Sun's words are reasonable, but there is no other way to borrow power. I thought, I might as well lay the groundwork first."

"bedding?"

"No," Jiang Dejing stared at the blue and white porcelain tea jar in his hand and said, "The first time the emperor was in the eighth year of Chongzhen, because Fengyang fell; the second time was ten years, because there was no rain for a long time; the third time was fifteen years, when the Eastern Captains invaded Shandong, and the change of Lu State; the fourth time was in the change of Chu State in the 16th year; the fifth time was in the first month of the seventeenth year, when the seventeenth year, when the Nimai City broke into the city."

"These five self-decrees are nothing more than two things: natural disasters, **. If we subdivided them, there will be: losing the tombs of our ancestors, losing the vassals, and losing the country." Jiang Dejing listed one by one: "Mencius said that 'the people are the most important, and the country is the next.' Now the Donghu brutals are cruel to our people by shaving their hair, which is really a heavier than the lost country."

After Jiang Dejing said this, even Li Yuzhi, who seemed to be asleep, nodded.

According to Jiang Ge Lao's logic, when he lost the country, he only admitted his guilt and did not punish himself because the degree was not enough. Because the Ming Dynasty was not destroyed, there was still a possibility of regaining the country and the country, so there was no need to punish himself. However, now the East Captains are cruel to the people, which is a fait accompli, and to the extent is even greater than the loss of the country, so he had to punish himself to thank the world.

"As Your Highness said, the emperor should not be punished. It is really great filial piety to take his son to take over his father." Wu Qing nodded and agreed: "We have to link His Highness to cut off his hair and Tiying to save his father in public opinion."

Tiying's saving his father has been passed down from the time of Emperor Wen of Han to today, which shows the power of filial piety. As long as "filial piety" is emphasized and occupy the moral commanding heights, no one can only look up to it.

"This is a killing two birds with one stone." Li Banghua cleared his throat and said, "If you can achieve your highness's loyalty and filial piety, then the 'unfilial piety' of cutting off your hair will naturally be untenable."

In addition to accusing the crown prince of defrauding the emperor, some people in Jiangnan also focused on the "hair cut" behavior itself.

According to the logic of the defender, lightly destroying the body and hair is equivalent to hurting one's own parents. This behavior will naturally be severely condemned, but there is an exemption regulation.

This exemption is: loyalty.

Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty, and loyalty is the sublimation of filial piety. Only when filial piety at home and loyalty to the emperor when he is a charitable man and gentleman are a kind person. As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. When there is a conflict between "loyalty" and "filial piety", "loyalty" is the priority.

Just like the officials who have sacrificed their country and died for their rituals since the national change, from the perspective of filial piety, they abandoned the life given by their parents and cut off the continuation of their parents' lives. Although they are unfilial, they are a act of loyalty and righteousness, so they will not only not be criticized, but will also be passed down through the ages.

Zhu Cilang's hair cut off his hair did suffer a small loss in the filial piety level, but if he is regarded as a "subject", he deserves great praise on the mortal level. And those soldiers who followed the crown prince's hair shaved naturally became loyal and righteous people, and cannot be evaluated as a small filial piety of one family.

Wu Yan glanced at the chief assistant Li Yuzhi and said, "It's so good."

Li Yuzhi's eyes were dizzy, and his eyes had already been stimulated by the candlelight and burst into tears. Hearing Wu Qing's words, he nodded slightly and said, "Please prepare the strategy carefully and implement it as soon as possible."

Li Banghua bowed slightly to show that he knew.

Wu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief in secret, and Jiang Dejing, who was younger than him, vomited out this tone loudly.

Who doesn't want to sigh for everyone in this room?

The crown prince is a talented person, but he just causes trouble. He never knows to be cautious in his words and actions. For example, this time, as long as you find some soldiers to shave their hair spontaneously and set them as role models, you will naturally achieve good results. Why do you have to take the lead yourself?

Even if the wind is brought forward in public opinion, it will undoubtedly give the villain the reason for criticism. What if the villain writes books and deceives innocent scholars who are unaware of it, wouldn’t it be slandered after all?

If you take a step back, if you want to do such a big move, how much will you know the cabinet be prepared for it? How can you do it as soon as you think of it?

However, this is also the time when the cabinet ministers reflect their own value...

Wu Xuan looked around the present and said, "In this way, today's short meeting will be over. The minutes of the meeting will be delivered to the hall of the gentlemen tomorrow. Please go back and rest as soon as possible."

The Secretariat of the Cabinet sitting in the corner was red in his eyes, and he knew that the "tomorrow" that Mr. Cifu said means before going to work tomorrow.

This means that he has to stay up late tonight again.

"Mr. Wu," Sun Chuanting said suddenly, "After the Draft Tax Law was submitted to Your Highness, Sun has not received the receipt yet. Has it not been delivered yet?"

Li Banghua and Li Zhensheng saw that Sun Chuanting mentioned the cabinet affairs, stood up and said goodbye first. The other three cabinet masters had to sit down with peace of mind and hold a short meeting on this issue.

The eyes of the Secretariat were twitching, and he prayed silently in his heart: Don’t deliver it! Don’t deliver it!

If the draft is not delivered, then the short meeting cannot be held. If it is delivered, there is no receipt, Wu Yan must explain it. Although this question and answer are very simple, it involves the rules of the cabinet operation. Even if it is simple, a record must be issued and signed and archived for inspection.

The result made the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat very sad.

The Crown Prince's receipt was not only sent back to Jinan, but also a large number of revisions were appended.

"I originally wanted the Ministry of Revenue to discuss it first before handing it over to the cabinet. Since Mr. Sun asked, I might as well pass on your Highness's opinions today." Wu Yan sank the poor Secretariat's servants under the sea with one sentence.

——Don’t think of sleeping tonight.

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat sincerely envies his colleagues who worked overtime yesterday and only joined the ugly ones. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
